========================================================================= Sunday, January 29, 2023. 08:00. The Moksha Gita : Swami Sivananda Commentary  :  Chapter 2: The Nature of Brahman -3. Swami Krishnananda. ========================================================================= 5. Some indescribable supreme principle which is imperishable, unborn, undecaying, fearless, motionless, one without a second, ancient and infinite, that thing alone exists. The Supreme Brahman is indescribable because description always catches parts and can never include the whole in its judgments. When Brahman is said to be like "this", there is an automatic exclusion of the "not-this" aspect or the "that" aspect of Brahman. Words are too limited and the mind is too incapable to adequately picture the eternal nature of Brahman. Even "Sat-Chid-Ananda" is only a provisional description and is only an intellectual prop. The exact nature of the Reality can only be e...

========================================================================= Thursday, January 26, 2023. 07:30. The Moksha Gita : Swami Sivananda Commentary  :  Chapter 2: The Nature of Brahman -2. Swami Krishnananda. ========================================================================= 3, 4. That Ultimate Reality, which is the support for this world, body, Prana, mind and senses, which is the womb for the Vedas, which is all-pervading and all-permeating, which is colourless, odourless, tasteless, nameless and formless, that something shines eternally. The Ultimate Reality is the support for the world even as the Sun is the support for the mirage. The world is the dazzling of Eternal Consciousness. The nihilists are wrong in saying that nothing exists at all. The world-phenomenon cannot be based on Nothing-less or Emptiness. An appearance demands a Reality as its corollary. The world is an expression of Brahman through Maya even as the body is an expression of Atman through m...

Swami Chinmayananda : There is no sin greater than getting oneself “upset” at life’s turns and twists. To lose our balance, self-poise, equanimity is a crime against the Self. There is nothing really worth worrying for nor for feeling elated at in this ever-changing phenomenon called life. Catch hold of the Lords’ angavastram; never go any farther than its length allows; play the life out around Him in tune to His Flute. ========================================================================= Monday, January 23, 2023. 07:00. The Moksha Gita : Swami Sivananda Commentary  :  Chapter 2: The Nature of Brahman - 1. Swami Krishnananda. ======================================================================= Slokas-1, 2.  The Guru said: Salutation to Sat-Chit-Ananda Para-Brahman, that glorious first Preceptor, who is self-luminous, eternal indivisible, pure, spotless, desireless, attributeless, timeless, spaceless, changeless, beginningless and endless. The greatest and the Firs...

========================================================================= Friday, January 20, 2023. 07:00. The Moksha Gita : Swami Sivananda Commentary  : Swami Krishnananda-Chapter -1.2. ========================================================================= Chapter 1: The Search for Truth -2. 3, 4. The Guru said: Fear not, my child; In reality there is no death for thee. There is a means for crossing this ocean of relative existence and attaining Immortality or the supreme Bliss. I shall teach thee now Brahma-Vidya. Hear with rapt attention. The Guru replies to the disciple. The compassion of the Guru for the disciple is a proverbial one. The aspirant who has tranquility of mind, who has controlled his senses, who has developed serenity and power of endurance, who has faith in God, Guru and Scriptures, who has one-pointedness of mind and yearning for Liberation is answered by the Guru with the heart of a Brahmanishtha. "There is no death." Death is an extinction of what p...

========================================================================= Monday, January 16, 2023. 07:00. The Moksha Gita : Swami Sivananda Commentary  : Swami Krishnananda-Chapter -1.1. ========================================================================= Chapter 1: The Search for Truth -1. 1, 2. The disciple said: O Merciful Master! I bow to thee. I have fallen into the dreadful ocean of birth and death. I am afflicted with the three kinds of Taapas. Save me, O Lord. Teach me, how I should cross this ocean of Samsara. The disciple approaches the Guru. This is the starting-point of Brahmavidya. The aspirant after equipping himself with the Sadhana-Chatushtaya, i.e., the ethical discipline necessary for the purification of the heart before entering into the field of Brahmavidya proper or the Science of the Ultimate Reality, goes to the Spiritual Teacher for higher Knowledge. The Mundaka Upanishad says that, after finding everything on earth is worthless, the seeker after the e...

The Moksha Gita : Swami Sivananda Commentary  : Swami Krishnananda-1.1 ========================================================================= 1.Introduction-1. This is "Moksha Gita" or the "Song of Liberation." By practising its teachings one gets liberated from all bondage and becomes Immortal.
